Acknowledgments

There are thousands of graduation photographs across our University Flickr and Living Histories sites, around 17000 of them were digitised by our first volunteer, Mr Peter Longworth. We thank him for his great diligence and service to our graduates.

Many thanks also to Mr Marcus Mariani, and the many Auchmuty Library Rovers who digitised the majority of the Conferring Of Degrees Graduation Booklets in 2007.

And to Mr Michael Sheriff and Mr Angus Glasper who volunteered over many years to digitise all our extant Graduation Videos and films and uploaded them to our YouTube Channel under the supervision of Phil Lloyd and Dr Ann Hardy in the UON GLAMx Lab.
